Kurogane's Anime BlogPraise be our Goddess Madoka, for She died for our sins and gave us hope2014-11-02T03:15:10Zhttp://kurogane.animeblogger.net/feed/atom/WordPressKurogane Shiroikazehttp://kurogane.animeblogger.nethttp://kurogane.animeblogger.net/?p=117012014-11-02T03:15:10Z2014-11-02T03:15:10Z

I…I’m… stil not used to this evil Illya :(

Ahhhhhhhh such perfect tsundere-ism from Rin~

….. Shirou you dense idiot. He sure had it coming. Rin’s mad smiling face is probably not a good thing to see too many times wwwwwwww

For some reason, Saber is a lot more hyper and likeable than I remembered her….

Oh boy…. that landmine explosion…..

wwwwwwwwwwww Sakura’s so obviously shocked disgusted face here

Poor Sakura, why doesn’t senpai notice herrrrrrrrrr (lol).

Another week, another great episode of UBW. The pivot into the everyday harem hijinks is a much welcome break after the mad awesomeness of last week’s Berserker CQC breakdancing w.

I think the impressive part of this episode was how they juggled on giving the screentime for all three of our leading heroines, with Rin, Saber and Sakura stealing the limelight in equal manner when it called for it. Rin’s tsundere-ism has been really great throughout the series. Saber somehow lost that “cold” image I used to have of her already, and I must say her UBW appearance so far has been pretty damn likeable. Meanwhile, poor Sakura still hasn’t gotten senpai to notice her yet…. (lol) Of course the true waifu is still Archer….

Next week, Caster fight I guess? Are we going to see the legendary Kuzuki-sensei in action too?

Bonus: dem homunculi birds. I’m surprised they added this in for Illya, I think she was never shown using that form of alchemy previously? Correct me if I’m wrong though.

Seriously though, ufotable is really on Unlimited Budget Works for this show. The Berserker fight that encompassed pretty much the entire episode, and even had the bonus fight of Rin vs Illya. Especially impressed with them adding the homunculi wire birds her mother used in Fate/Zero.

Archer stole the goddamn episode though, with that awesomely cool charging up and shooting the A-rank Noble Phantasm at Berserker to wrap the fight up. The music accompaniment at that part was great as well.

I liked Rin’s interactions with Shirou too. As a tsundere twintails fan, it was really appealed to me, especially when the whole “you’re gonna cause trouble for me” line aahhhhhhh the way she said it and all was just so perfect ahhhhhhhh.. *ahem*

All these cute Rin scenes definitely made up for what was pretty much an exposition episode, introducing our beloved (lol) fake priest, Kotomine Kirei and more in-depth explanation on the Holy Grail War itself. And of course, that orbiting exposition dump move made it appearance again, really.

Anyways, more Rin deban plz. ufotable is definitely making the best animated version of Rin for now. But next week, Berserker fight!

Twintails is one of those shows, where the first episode so balls to walls out of the park crazy yet so fucking amazing, you immediately worry if the next episode can live up to it. Luckily enough, the 2nd installment of this amazing show manages to match and even outdo last week, keeping my hopes for this show still sky-high. Everything’s in the execution and boy does Twintail know exactly how it should be done.

Osananajimi has the best expressions.

God, these dudes already started on making doujin Tail Red goods. Need to ask them for their Comiket booth number later….

Oh shit, it makes sense when you put it that way!

Impossible choices to make……………….

Thuearl….. GOOD JOB! d(=.=)b

Goddamnit, Thuearl stop stealing the show! You don’t even have twintails yet!

…. oh great, Souji mom is stealing the show as well. How the hell do you even say stuff like that to your own son!!!!!

…. seriously, this Thuearl. I’m not sure I should be this impressed at how far she’s going with her sensibilities.

Can’t wait for Tail Blue next week. Looking forward to see some pretty amazing action scenes with her.

Of course, we can’t start the show proper without having this trademark scene happening!

Man, the action scenes are pretty awesome.

>dat gay bulge Gae Bolg!

www oh god the subs here.

Rin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The twintaills Rin fan in me is only slightly a bit sad with the lack of twintails Rin this episode. Only a little!!!

So, ten years later we are finally getting a proper anime adaptation of F/SN, unarguably one of the most recognizable media franchises ever. Episode 00 starts with the Prologue chapter of Rin and if this was all the show was, it’d easily sit in the top 5 anime released this year.

ufotable, as usual, does amazing justice to the series and it shows quite obviously from the detailed backgrounds, character animation and battle scenes. I’ll be damned if this doesn’t get my hopes right up to the stratosphere for the rest of the series. Please do this justice ufotable! Even better if you can somehow find a way to insert more Rin and less of Saber!
